All worthwhile............

I spend my life either at work or ferrying my two children to dancing, football, scouts, brownies, cricket etc.... sounds familiar ?

Add to that, I'm a Cub Leader and wonder how I find the time.....


Then, when you see this...............




You remember why you find the time - 23 excited cubs and their leaders snowtubing!

So Lucky to live here..............

Just a quick blog today. My daughter has Clover Brownie Bear this week to look after - anyone who has had this before will know the routine.........Look after said soft toy........take it out and about (whilst trying not to lose it!)....... looking in the "diary" ..... seeing the numerous epilogues and photos put in by the previous children (or should I say parents!)............. sinking heart feeling of what are we going to do........ then organising the week around photo opportunities with said soft toy.... SOUND FAMILIAR!!!!?????


As we had a wet Saturday, said bear made it only as far a R's tap exam as the lucky mascot and Sunday was to be a lazy day at home. However, as photos were needed, we wandered down to the local museum and then to the river....  looking at this scenery, I would say Clover bear is very lucky to live where she does!

p.s. Good Enough to Eat Swap - if you would like to see what I sent ....



 
or look at Alex's blog for some far better photos.

What a HOOT !

This wise old owl can't seem to be able to predict the outcome of tonight's election !

This week has been busy, busy, busy ! Two nights ago we lost the hamster ! The children were in bed and my hubby let him out for a play in his ball. After a few minutes of constant bashing, it went quiet only for us to discover he had escaped - He was found quickly BUT behind the boxing in of the pipes behind the downstairs toilet ! He was eventually coaxed out without waking the children!!

I bumped intoMrs BoBo Bun http://www.mrsbobobun.blogspot.com/ in Fat Face Wed morning and had a nice catch up - several years since our children went to Presma. Check out lisa's blog it is inspiring.

Also R has been busy crafting for her Brownie badge ........

After much concentration.......

The finished lavender sachet - and very proud she was too!

This weekend son is on a Scout camp ( after a compromise of coming home early Saturday teatime as he has his SATS next week.........), 7 a side District Cub football for me and hubby refereeing and a tap exam for R, not much time for crafting I think!!!

Have a lovely weekend.........
